Eyes on high water in North Dakota

April 12, 2011

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Authorities are planning door-to-door visits Tuesday in rural areas north of Fargo, N.D., isolated by Red River flooding. Cass County Sheriff Paul Laney says there were no major incidents reported overnight. He says the National Guard was helping some people who had minor issues with power generators. Laney says police discovered a car that was reported stolen and wound up in a flooded ditch. Laney says officials continue to monitor high water in Cass County, but says good news might be on its way. He says the Sheyenne River is holding its banks south of Fargo, which should allow water to drain faster once the Red River crests north of town.
